Biography
Barent Gardenier was born in Kinderhook, New York in 1776, and he became a lawyer in Kingston before serving in the US House of Representatives from 1807 to 1811. In 1808, he duelled rival congressman George W. Campbell due to his opposition to the Democratic-Republican embargo on France and Britain, and Gardenier was wounded, although he won re-election. From 1813 to 1815, he served as a district attorney, and he died in 1822.
